    Abstract Purpose of review: The development and implementation of 'increased risk donor' (IRD) status by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was intended to guide patients and providers in decision making regarding risk of infectious transmission via solid organ transplantation. Several contemporary studies have shown underutilization of these organs. This review summarizes the issues surrounding IRD status as well as recent advances in our understanding of the risks and benefits of increased risk organs and their appropriate utilization.
    Recent findings: Risk of window-period infection remains exceedingly low, and implementation of nucleic acid testing for HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) has resulted in decreasing risk of window-period infection often by an order of magnitude or more. Surgeons remain hesitant to utilize IRD organs. In addition, surgeon assessment of risk by donor behaviour was often discordant with known risks of those behaviours. Studies investigating outcomes of utilization of IRD organs suggest long-term mortality and graft survival is at least equivalent to non-IRD organs. Contemporary results suggest that IRD organs continue to be underutilized, particularly adult kidneys and lungs, with hundreds of wasted organs per year.
    Summary: CDC IRD labelling has led to an underutilization of organs for transplantation. The risks associated with acceptance of an IRD organ are inflated by surgeons and patients, and outcomes for patients who undergo transplantation with increased risk organs are similar to or better than those for patients whom accept standard risk organs. The rate of transmission of window-period infection from IRD organs is exceptionally low. The harms regarding the utility of Public Health Service increased risk classification outweigh the benefits for patients in need of transplant.

    Abstract Objective: Surgical videos are commonly utilized by trainees to prepare for surgical cases. However, currently available videos tend to be of excessive length, variable quality, and exist behind paywalls or in other exclusive formats. Our objective was to create a series of videos that would address these shortcomings, and further allow for dynamic engagement between learners and experts.
    Design: Our group created surgical videos using principles of microlearning, an educational strategy which deconstructs content into small units and uses social media platforms where learners and educators may actively engage. We published a library of short (<3 min) videos covering various steps of abdominal transplantation operations on a YouTube channel. We leveraged Twitter to disseminate the content and engage with experts and learners from around the world.
    Setting: Multi-institutional.
    Results: Over the period from July 2020 to January 2021, 24 microlearning videos were created, stored on a YouTube channel, and posted to Twitter weekly using a newly created account. During that time period, the videos, averaging 124 seconds in length, were viewed 4393 times and watched for a total of 127 hours. The account gained 611 followers in 37 countries and 37 US states with 312,400 impressions (defined as tweet views). Twitter users who engaged with our microlearning content (favorite, retweet, or reply) included faculty (27%), residents (21%), fellows (8%), and medical students (11%).
    Conclusions: Broad participation with the educational material and discussion on Twitter demonstrated the potential for the microlearning technique to provide educational benefit for learners internationally. The spread of the tweets shows an opportunity to augment traditional surgical education, and the willingness of faculty to discuss alternative techniques with their peers. Our group will continue to develop a library of microlearning videos for surgical operations and engage with other institutions for collaboration and expansion.
